Do miss the Argos catalogue too!

If only the online seed companies that don't do paper catalogues did an ecatalogue like an ebook, to browse through too... rather than clicky-link-madness.

Would propping it up with stakes work, like the thinner diameter concrete reinforcing poles?  I had one fallen over and propped it up and pruned.  Maybe take some cuttings too from the prunings, which gives you the option to remove it altogether next year, when the cuttings have settled in a better place.

Edible Plants / Moving a rosemary bush
Last post by davholla - Yesterday at 14:29:07
My rosemary bush has fallen over, not horizontal but at an angle - still doing fine but it is blocking the path so (not unreasonably) I have been asked to move it, any advice?

Quote from: galina on September 25, 2026, 10:33:57Starting to google the seed circle varieties.  So much to look forward to.

Both Märchenengel and Märchenfeuer are Open Source registered variety tomatoes.  Both slightly shorter varieties suitable for large pots as well as outdoors.  They look great, thank you Vetivert. 

Yes they're bred to be strongly blight resistant. Not the best year to assess resistance but they're growing well outdoors.

I love a physical catalogue, it is a bit like when we were little  and Woolworth brought out the Christmas one. Perfect for a wet day , dreaming and looking forward. Thomas Etty has some interesting links to some of the first.
